And once it's dismissed MU will probably go after the Government for damages (if possible?), if they do. I hope they win. The Content Mafia and the Government tripped over themselves after the MU shutdown, now seeing them eat a lot of crow would be more than nice.

I don't know what parents in Germany think about this today, but back when I was a little kid (late 70s / early 80s) that was one of the most popular books. I had a copy of it and everybody else I knew as well.

Think of Jazz as a conversation between the different instruments. They tend, in general, to riff off of each other. One reason why much like classical music when and where an album was recorded matters.

He,

I think this fits.

Could be a syndrom. But usually when I go "down that path" it's not because I know everything about a subject, but rather because I am trying to explain my rational for my conclusion.

Isn't this "article" sort of a version of the Answer Syndrom? I don't see a link to any relevant paper or research in it. It seems to me the author was having some frustration, my friends, so all those answers come from when your keyboard starts running faster than your knowledge base.

The amusing thing, to me, about the "lowest difficulty setting" thing is that although in part it is "SWM made" a lot also has to do with non-SWM being at each other's throat.

Not sure if that is really a bad thing. The first season was great. The second season started great then got progressively worse. Season 3 was such an up and down that getting rid of Harmon may not be a bad thing.

You're referring to the Downtown East Side (or as people "lovingly" call it: DTSE). Yes, it is a drug infested place and there are associated problems, but not to a degree that people outside seem to think.

No, it doesn't make it wrong, but it does make it suspect. Taser International heavily lobbied after the Dzersinksi incident here in Canada, going so far as to try and prevent a public inquest. To put it mildly: I don't trust that bunch.

I would say most people automatically deduct points anyway. Be it for size, height, interests.... Most people know they are lying so they expect the other person to lie as well. Which poses a problem for me at times as I am really not interested in representing myself as something I am not, but you can actually see…

Ah,but it's not that far off as far as musical preferences go. Some people really listen to certain music because of the "brownie points" it gives them.

But it does't seem to be the case. I most cases the cops are investigating themselves (sure, different PD most of the time) and in the case of civilian watchdogs they are paper tigers without real teeth.

I would take officers out of their cop cars and have them patrol the community on foot. This is way more proactive than having three dozen squat cars descending on a call.

Here is my thing: As society we give police officers certain powers, not in the least to use violence in the line of duty for the greater good. With this comes responsiblity AND accountability. The problem is that the "blue fraternity" seems to live and work by their own rules. Here in BC for example there is no real…

As I pointed out in another comment. Yes, I know the taser records these things. But considering how taser and other investigations have gone I would not be surprised if the data "disappears". And please don't tell me I am paranoid etc. There are ample examples of cops covering their own tracks, at times with the help…

"Seriously though, when was the last time China, Japan or the UK bombed anyone?"

I am not aware of the woman having drawn a gun, or many of the other other taser incidents ("Don't tase me bro"). Besides, take a look at England where the majority of the cops still don't carry a gun and instead for extreme scenarios (e.g. guns at play) they have armed response units which are specifically brought in…

The point is: It can be used without clear evidence that the taser was deployed, this is where the problem comes in in my opinion. It removes "forced accountability" and that can never be a good thing if we hand someone the power to inflict pain or death onto someone else. BTW, this "option" is not available to the…
